As a member of the North Carolina Community College System, McDowell Technical Community College operates under an “open door” admissions policy. Open door admissions means, “Any person who is a high school graduate or at least 18 years old has the opportunity to pursue the various educational opportunities that are offered by institutions in the system.” Special admission requirements, such as educational qualifications, physical abilities, assessment scores and State Board policy restrictions, are attached to certain curriculums. Applicants scoring below specified minimums on entrance exams will be counseled and required to enroll in classes designed to eliminate their admission deficiencies. The following are the general admission requirements. However, some curricula have special requirements for admission. Consult the section of this catalog which describes the particular curriculum in which you wish to enroll for a list of the exceptions or requirements. The College has seven departments:

Business Technologies Department College Transfer / General Education Department Continuing Education Department Correctional Education Department Health Science Department Human & Public Services Department Vocational Department

Curriculum Admissions Curriculum classes are offered in all departments except the Continuing Education Department. Therefore, admission to all departments except the Continuing Education Department are coordinated through and conducted in the Student Services Office. For curriculum admissions, an applicant must be a graduate of an accredited high school or must have been awarded a high school equivalency certificate. Exceptions may be made for Career and College Promise students, as well as individuals whose age and maturity make success likely.

Continuing Education Admissions In general, Continuing Education courses are open for enrollment to persons 18 years of age or older, or those whose high school graduating class has graduated. However, because some specialty and advanced courses may be more difficult and require a greater degree of preparation, potential enrollees should be aware of the nature of the course requirements to determine their possible success in those courses. To meet admissions requirements for certain specialized courses such as Fire Service, Law Enforcement or Management Development Training, potential students must be employed by or recommended by one of the requesting training agencies.

22 How to Enroll in a Curriculum Program Persons wishing to enroll in a curriculum program at the College must complete the entire application process and meet requirements as follows:

• Submit an application form, health form (depending upon program area) and residency statement. There is no application fee!

• Obtain official transcripts of credits from all secondary and postsecondary schools attended. Records should show that the student is a high school graduate or has a state-approved equivalent education.

• Complete admission and placement tests administered by the Col- lege through the Student Enrichment Center. Student suitability for admission to individual programs will be determined by scores on the placement exam and specific program requirements. Applicants scoring below the necessary minimum will be required to enroll in various developmental (remediation) courses to ensure success in their curricula.

•The Vice President for Learning and Student Services will review all requests for placement test exemption. Students classified as transfer or special students may be considered for such exemptions, as may those with satisfactory scores on the ACT or SAT, and those who have satisfactorily completed college level English or Algebra with appropriate grades. **For information on admission to Continuing Education courses, refer to the Continuing Education section of this catalog.

Special Admissions Provisional Admissions Students who have applied too late to secure all supporting documents for admission to a particular semester may be admitted as provisional students. In such cases, all requirements for regular admission should be completed within the first semester of attendance. Students who fail to secure all supporting documents or satisfy requirements for official admission to the College may not be eligible for financial assistance and will not be allowed to enroll the next semester.

Admission of Special Students A special student is defined as one who is enrolled in curriculum credit courses, but who is not working toward a degree or diploma. Special students may register to take courses for which they have met prerequisites, provided that such registration does not pre-empt students enrolled in a degree, diploma, or certificate program. A student may take a maximum of 15 hours in any one semester

23 while classified as a special student. When a student reaches 20 cumulative hours, he/she will be counseled to declare a major or curriculum preference. For admission to McDowell Technical Community College, special students need only to complete the application for admission which is available in the Student Services Office. Special students may be asked to submit proof of high school graduation and meet certain placement criteria, depending on the courses they wish to enroll in. If they desire to be reclas- sified as a regular student with intent to pursue and earn a degree, diploma, or certificate at McDowell Technical Community College, they must meet the admission criteria of their chosen program of study.

Visiting Student Status A visiting student is defined as one who is a student in good standing at another institution of higher education. A visiting student may enroll at MTCC by completing an application and furnishing MTCC with a letter of permission and transcripts from the parent college (college at which the individual is a regular student). Visiting students may register to take courses for which they have met prerequisites, provided that such registration does not pre-empt students enrolled in a degree, diploma, or certificate program.

Foreign Student Admission A student wishing to apply for admission as a foreign student (F1- VISA) should first make arrangements through the American Consulate in his/her own country to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL Test). To demonstrate proficiency in the English language, international applicants from non-English speaking countries must score at least 133 on the computer-based test or a 450 on the paper-based test. If the applicant is already in the Marion area, the MTCC placement test may be substituted for the TOEFL requirement. Applicants will not be considered until a satisfactory score is received on this exam. Educational records, including transcripts, must be translated into the English language by officials from the school(s) from which the applicant graduated. These records must contain course titles, grades and an explanation of the marking system. Foreign applicants must submit an official certification that adequate funds are at the applicant’s disposal to meet education and living expenses, including transportation, housing, insurance, out-of-state tuition, etc. The MTCC Application for Admission, high school transcript, college transcripts, TOEFL or MTCC placement test scores and official documentation of financial resources must be received before an admission decision can be made and a U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service I-20 can be issued. Undocumented immigrants are required to pay out-of-state tuition and are subject to the rules and regulations for undocumented students.

24 Foreign applicants must meet all other regular admission requirements as stated in this catalog.

Admission of Minors “An applicant who is a minor between the age of 16 and 18 may be considered as a person with special needs and admitted to appropriate courses or programs, provided: 1) That the minor applicant has left the public schools no less than six calendar months prior to the last day of regular registration of the semester in the institution for which admission is sought: and 2) That the application of such minor is supported by a notarized petition of the minor’s parent, legal guardian, or other person or agency having legal custody and control of such minor applicant, which petition certifies the place of residence and date of birth of the minor, the parental or other appropriate legal relationship of the petitioner to the minor applicant, and the date on which the minor applicant left the public schools. However, all or any part of the six-month waiting period may be waived by the superintendent of the public schools of the administrative unit in which the applicant resides; and 3) That such admission will not pre-empt College facilities and staff to such an extent as to render the College unable to admit all applicants who have graduated from high school or who are 18 years of age or older. It shall be the policy of the State Board of Education and the Com- munity College System to encourage young people to complete high school before seeking admission to community colleges or technical institutes.”

McDowell Early College McDowell Early College (MEC) is a small, personalized high school located on the McDowell Technical Community College Campus. MEC is an exciting partnership between McDowell County Schools and McDowell Technical Community College that offers unique educational opportunities designed for a diverse group of students. The mission of MEC is to provide a smaller academic environment that fosters growth and success to prepare students for their future by developing relationships, responsibility, and respect through relevant and rigorous coursework. McDowell Early College students earn an Associate’s degree or two years of transferable credit in addition to their high school diploma. All MEC students are offered a schedule that meets individual needs, abilities and interests. The school, provides ongoing academic support in a small school setting to help students meet the high expectations of the Early College Model. Our focus is college readiness. McDowell Early College strives to redefine teaching and learning by using innovative best practices. For more information, contact the MEC prinicipal at 659-0411.

25 Enrollment Limitations Some curriculum programs have maximum student enrollment limitations and/or reserve space for currently enrolled students. Acceptance to most programs except Nursing, Surgical Technology and BLET will be on a first come, first served basis as evidenced by the receipt of qualified applications and payment of all appropriate fees. Applicants who do not register and pay at established times may lose their position.

Readmissions Students who have withdrawn in good standing, withdrawn while on probation, or who have been suspended for academic deficiencies should submit requests for readmission to the VP for Learning and Student Services. Consid- eration of requests for readmission of students who have withdrawn for these reasons will be made in light of the applicant’s ability, evidence of growth and maturity, time elapsed since withdrawing and other extenuating circumstances. Additional consideration will be given to those who have completed course prerequisites. Enrollment limits and class sequencing will also be considered in evaluating a request for readmission.

Transfer Transfer From Other Schools Students who complete course work in another accredited college or university may apply for admission to MTCC. An application must be submitted and must include official transcripts for all institutions previously attended. Transfer applicants must have maintained a “satisfactory conduct” standing in the institution from which they are transferring to be accepted as a student in good standing at MTCC. Academic work completed at accredited colleges and universities will be accepted at full value for required courses passed with the grade of “C” or better if completed within the last 10 years. Courses taken at other institutions must have essentially the same content, contact hours and difficulty level as MTCC courses. In order to receive a degree or diploma from MTCC, a student must earn the last 20 semester hours of their program in residence at MTCC with at least a “C” average (see graduation requirements). Applicants who seek admission with advanced standing at MTCC should make an appointment with an admissions counselor to conduct a transcript evaluation. The admissions officer will conduct an official transcript evaluation when the applicant’s admission file is complete. Requests for transfer credit should be made prior to the student’s first term of enrollment. All transfer credit will be computed by the end of the first semester of the student’s initial enrollment. The applicant can inquire in Student Services about all credits which transfer, preferably prior to enrollment.

26 A transfer student applying too late to complete pre-entrance requirements may be admitted as a provisional student. In such a case, all requirements for regular admission must be completed within the first semester of attendance. A student on academic probation or suspended status from his/her last college or post-secondary institution may be admitted on a probationary basis and may be subject to academic progress regulations as defined in this catalog.

Transfer of Credits from College Level Examination Program Credit may be allowed for up to 14 semester hours of college work based on appropriate scores on the CLEP General Examination where appropriate to the student’s program of study. CLEP subject examinations are evaluated individually if applicable to the program of study.

Transfer of Credits For Military Experience McDowell Technical Community College recognizes the unique nature of the military lifestyle and has committed itself to easing the transfer of relevant course credits, providing flexible academic residency requirements and crediting learning from appropriate military training and experience. Veterans of the Armed Forces automatically receive credit for two semester hours of physical education credit. They are eligible to apply for curriculum credit in other areas based on prior education, training and experience. See the Veterans Certifying Official in the Student Enrichment Center for more information on credit for prior military experience.

Transfer Within Curriculums McDowell Technical Community College will make all reasonable efforts to assist students who transfer from one curriculum to another within the College. Credits earned in one curriculum will transfer to another when appropriate. A student’s cumulative grade point average will be computed only from the credits transferred to the new curriculum. The Dean of Academic Programs is the primary authority in determining transfer of credits from other schools and within curriculums. When there is doubt about the transfer of a credit, the Dean of Academic Programs will consult the appropriate faculty members. If a student wishes to appeal the decision, the transcript will be referred to the VP for Learn- ing and Student Services, whose decision will be final.

Transfer To Other Schools The school to which a student wishes to transfer is responsible for deciding which credits from McDowell Technical Community Col-

27 lege will be accepted. Most colleges and universities will accept MTCC credit for a course if a grade of “C” or higher is earned. Students planning to transfer to senior institutions should strongly consider enrolling in the MTCC College Transfer or General Education program. Transfer of credits from other areas may be limited. Students should seek the advice of a counselor in these instances. There are many four-year schools which accept transfer technical courses from McDowell Technical Community College. Students should contact four-year schools of their choice to determine which courses will transfer.

Procedures for Students Desiring a Second Degree 1. The student desiring a second degree informs his/her advisor of his/her intent to receive two associate degrees prior to applying for graduation in Student Services. 2. The advisor evaluates the student’s transcript to determine if additional semester hours/coursework is required. 3. The advisor documents his/her decision on the Dual Degree Approval Form provided by the student by completing the bottom section of the form. 4. The student applies for graduation in Student Services, submitting a separate application for each degree sought. 5. The Director of Admissions confirms that the Dual Degree Form and Stu- dent Data Change Form are completed. If not, he/she informs the student that they need to speak with their advisor and/or Veterans’ Certifying Of- ficial before proceeding if he/she plans to receive VA educational benefits.

False Information Furnishing false data for admission or failure to fully disclose requested information will be grounds for rejection of an application or dismissal of a student who has already be admitted to the college.

Notification of Acceptance (*Does not apply to students in Nursing, and Surgical Technology.) Applicants will be notified by mail of their admission status within one to four weeks after their application is received. Placement into a requested program may be determined at a later date. Official notification of acceptance or placement in a program is issued only by the Vice-President for Learning and Student Services or his/her designee. Applicants not placed in the program of their choice will be notified of this decision. An admissions interview may be requested prior to placement into any program. An applicant who changes his/ her mailing address prior to registration for classes, who desires to apply for a different program, or wishes to enroll in a different semester than the one for which he/she originally applied should notify the Student Services Office -im mediately.

28 Placement Information (*Applies to Health Sciences students prior to acceptance into a Health Science Program.) Placement into a specific course of study is based upon standards which will help to assure the applicant’s success in that course of study. New students seeking a degree, certificate or diploma need to take the COMPASS, Accuplacer, and/or Asset Placement The test is administered by the Student Enrichment Center under the auspices of the Student Services Office. Those who do not yet possess the background required by their course of study may be enrolled in developmental (refresher) courses designed to provide this background. An individual’s educational background, interest, motivation, experience and aptitude will be considered when an application is submitted to the College. Students may be required to take developmental classes based on their placement test scores. Students are expected to enroll in developmental courses during their first semester. Students must pass the developmental course(s) with a grade of “C” or better to advance into higher level coursework. For placement into MAT 271 Calculus I, contact the Student Enrichment Center (659-0148 or 652-0683) for placement options.

29 Career and College Promise II. Operating Procedures (Approved by State Board of Community Colleges on 10/21/11; revised 03/16/12; revised 07/19/13; revised 11/15/13; revised 03/21/14; revised 07/18/14)

Session Law 2011-145, the Appropriations Act of 2011, authorized the State Board of Education and the State Board of Community Colleges to establish the Career and College Promise program, effective January 1, 2012.

Career and College Promise provides seamless dual enrollment educational opportunities for eligible North Carolina high school students in order to accelerate completion of college certificates, diplomas, and associate degrees that lead to college transfer or provide entry-level job skills. North Carolina community colleges may offer the following Career and College Promise pathways aligned with the K-12 curriculum and career and college ready standards adopted by the State Board of Education:

1. College Transfer Pathway leading to a minimum of 30 hours of college transfer credit; 2. A Career and Technical Education Pathway leading to a certificate, diploma or degree; 3. A Cooperative Innovative High School Pathway approved under Part 9 of Article 16 of Chapter 115D of the General Statutes.

College Transfer Pathway 1.

35 Academic Regulations

Grading System MTCC grading system is based on a semester schedule. Grade point averages are determined by dividing the total number of quality points by the number of hours attempted. If a course is repeated, the latest grade will be used in determining a student’s hour quality points. Grades will be issued at the conclusion of each semester based on the following system:

Numerical Grade Letter Grade Quality Point Equivalent 93-100 A-Excellent 4 points per credit hour 85-92 B-Above Average 3 points per credit hour 77-84 C-Average 2 points per credit hour 70-76 D-Below Average 1 point per credit hour Below 70 F-Failure 0 grade point (punitive)

AU-Audit No effect on grade point average CR-Credit by Exam No effect on grade point average I-Incomplete After 6 weeks from the beginning of the next semester, an incomplete grade becomes an “F.” (punitive)

NS-No Show (never attended class) No effect on grade point average PD-Pass Developmental No effect on grade point average RD-Repeat Developmental No effect on grade point average W-Withdrawal prior to 30% point No effect on grade point average WP-Withdrawal Passing after 30% point No effect on grade point average WF-Withdrawal Failing after 30% point 0 grade point (punitive)

** The above Numerical Grade does not apply to Nursing, Nursing Assistant, HIT, Dialysis and Surgical Technology students, for whom the lowest passing grade is a C. **An 80 or above is required for the Practical Nurse and ADN programs. **Under unusual or extenuating circumstances, faculty may use a different grading system other than the one listed above. Should this be necessary, the instructor must approve this change with administrators in Educational Pro- grams and list the new grading system on the course syllabi for that particular course.

Incompletes The grade “I,” incomplete, may be assigned when a student is unable to complete a course by the end of the semester. The student must present valid reasons why the course cannot be completed and obtain the instructor’s approval

36 to receive an incomplete grade. This grade will be replaced with the grade earned when the work to be completed is satisfactorily accomplished prior to the first day of class in the following semester. If the incomplete course is a pre-requisite to a course the student is registered for in the following semester, and if the student is unable to complete the requirements to satisfy the incomplete grade, the student will be withdrawn from the subsequent course. An incomplete grade is treated as a failing grade in GPA computation after the first day of the subsequent semester when the work has not been completed. The faculty member of the course will complete a Change of Grade Form to document that the incomplete has, in fact, been satisfied.

Only under extenuating circumstances may the Vice President of Learning extend the deadline for the completion of an incomplete grade. In such a rare case, the student, faculty and Vice President will sign a memo of understanding outlining the parameters of the extension. Standards of Progress All MTCC tudents are expected to make academic progress toward graduation. The grade point average required for graduation is 2.00, indicating that the student has a C average in all course work. The calculations listed below are the acceptable grade point averages which students are expected to maintain for the number of semester hours they have accumulated. ASSOCIATE DEGREE PROGRAMS

Cumulative Semester Hours Minimum Grade Point Average 0 - 10 1.00 11 - 20 1.25 21 - 30 1.50 31 - 40 1.75 41 - 50 1.90 51 - Completion 2.00 VOCATIONAL DIPLOMA PROGRAMS

Cumulative Semester Hours Minimum Grade Point Average 0 - 10 1.00 11 - 20 1.35 21 - 30 1.75 31 - Completion 2.00

**There are additional regulations for Nursing, HIT, Surgical Technology, BLET and other specific curriculums. Check with the Student Services Office, the Nursing Department, or your advisor for these regulations. Also, see Graduation Requirements in this Catalog.

37 Academic Advisement/Probation The above cumulative grade point averages are the minimums which must be attained in order for a student to make reasonable progress toward graduation. A 2.00 grade point average is required for graduation. Students who fall below the specified minimum will be placed on Academic Probation for the following semester and will be required to reduce their course loads.

Academic Suspension and Readmission Students who fail to earn a 2.00 GPA during any semester of academic probation may be suspended from their program of study. The period of suspension will not be less than one semester, nor more than one year. Students who have been suspended for academic deficiencies should submit requests for readmission to the VP for Learning and Student Services. Requests for readmission will be considered in light of the applicant’s ability, evidence of growth and maturity, time elapsed since suspension and other extenuating circumstances. Additional consideration will be given to those who have completed course pre-requisites. Enrollment limits and class sequencing will also be considered in evaluating a request for readmission.

Recognition of Academic Honor Students Students enrolled full-time (12 credit hours or more) who receive no incompletes are eligible for the following academic honor’s lists:

President’s List - Grade point average of 4.00 Dean’s List - Grade point average of 3.75 - 3.99 Honor List - Grade point average of 3.50 - 3.74

Academic honor lists are posted on-campus and provided to newspapers each semester.

Faculty Advisor Each student enrolled at MTCC will be assigned an advisor. The basic purpose of this is to provide each student personal assistance in orientation and progress throughout the time enrolled. The student’s faculty advisor may be consulted regarding various problems, but must, in all cases, be consulted by the student in the following instances:

1. When planning each semester’s schedule. 2. When changing courses within the current program. 3. When changing programs of study. 4. When preparing to enter a final semester of studies to determine graduation eligibility.

If a student is unsure who his or her current advisor is, the student should go to Student Services for the advisor name, location and phone number. Advisors maintain office hours as posted on their office doors.

38 Registration MTCC operates on the semester system (Fall, Spring, and Summer). All students are expected to register during the time set aside for that purpose. MTCC offers Pre-Registration dates to give students more time and flexibility to register and meet with their advisors as well as offering a one-time Registration Day. These dates are listed in the MTCC Catalog, the Schedule of Classes, and the MTCC website. Students may not register for a semester until they have paid any deferred or past due charges owed to the College. These fees are paid through the Busi- ness Office. Students are responsible for obtaining registration clearance each semester before they are permitted to register for classes. All current students who register late will be charged an additional fee of $5.00.

Schedule Changes and Withdrawal Students may change their academic schedules during the prescribed period without scholastic penalty. Courses dropped after the 10% point in the semester are not subject to a refund. Courses dropped after the 30% point in the semester will be marked “WP” (Withdrawal Passing) or “WF” (Withdrawal Failing). A “WF” carries the same stigma as an “F” (Failure).

The steps below must be followed before schedule changes are official:

1. The student secures a Add-Drop-Withdrawal Form from the Student Services Office as well as a Tuition Refund Request Form if applicable. 2. Individual schedule changes must be approved by the appropriate instructor. 3. Notification of schedule changes must be acknowledged and recorded by the Student Services Office. 4. Students who do not withdraw from school officially and have to be administratively withdrawn from school because of absences will be dropped from classes with grades of “WP” or “WF.”

Procedures for Student Withdrawal To officially withdraw from the College or from a course, the student must follow these procedures: 1. The student reports to the Student Services Office to obtain a withdrawal form and, if applicable, a Tuition Refund Request form. 2. The student is responsible for obtaining each instructor’s signature, last date of attendance and withdrawal grade on the withdrawal form, and is responsible for returning this form back to the Student Services Office. If the circumstances surrounding the withdrawal process do not allow the student to do the above, the Student Services Office will perform the withdrawal procedure for the student upon request.

39 3. A student may withdraw prior to the 30% point of the semester without scholastic penalty. This procedure, if followed, will entitle the student to have his permanent record show the notation “W” withdrawn. This notation indicates good standing and the privelege or readmission but may affect financial aid. 4. Any student who withdraws, or is withdrawn due to violation of the College’s attendance policy, after the 30% point of the semester will receive a grade of “WP” or “WF.” 5. Any student who fails to officially withdraw from the College may receive a grade of “WF.” STUDENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO INITIATE AND FOLLOW THROUGH WITH OFFICIAL WITH- DRAWAL PROCEDURES.

Course Substitutions Students may be allowed to substitute one course for another to meet graduation requirements. The substituted course must contribute to the goals of the degree program equally as well as the original course. Students must obtain approval from the instructor, advisor, Dean of Curriculum Programs or Dean of Health Science and the VP for Learning and Student Services to gain approval. A course substitution form may be obtained in the Student Services Office.

Repeating Courses A course may be repeated for credit for the purposes of obtaining certification hours, gaining additional knowledge, improving a grade or for the purposes of auditing a class. A student may receive credit hours toward graduation only once for a course. In the case of a course which has been repeated, only the quality points and hours earned in the most recent enrollment will be calculated in the GPA. However, all grades will be shown on the transcript during the semester in which the course was taken. No financial aid may be received by students repeating a course unless the student previously received a grade of “D” or “F” in the class. Veteran’s benefits may not be received by students repeating a course with a grade of “F” or “D,” in a class requiring a higher grade, such as a class for transfer to another school.

Auditing Courses Students who wish to audit courses must register and pay the same fees as students taking courses for credit. Unless the instructor makes an exception, auditing students are subject to the attendance policy (as stated in the College Catalog and Student Handbook). Students auditing courses which involve laboratory work may work in labs only during the course’s scheduled laboratory hours and under the direct supervision of the instructor. Otherwise, labs are closed to auditing students. No financial aid is received for audited classes. Audited courses are not eligible for Veteran’s educational benefit payments.

40 Credit by Examination A student may pass a specially prepared examination and receive credit for a course without having to do the normal course work. The student must enroll in the course and present evidence of his knowledge of the subject matter to the instructor prior to requesting credit-by-examination. The student must then present a Credit-by-Examination Request form to the instructor to begin the process . This form may be obtained in the Student Services Office. If the student sufficiently passes the exam, he/she will receive a grade of “CR” which will be recorded on the transcript. The hours will be counted toward graduation, but will not be used in calculation of GPA. A student may earn up to 20% of the course requirements for any curriculum through credit-by-examination.

Change of Program All MTCC students wishing to change their program of study must pick up a Student Data Change Form located in the Student Services Office. A change of major will be applied at the beginning of each semester. Once your program change has been processed, a new advisor will be assigned for the purpose of re-evaluating your new program and transferring applicable credits. Students who request a major change from a certificate or diploma program to an associate degree program will have to update placement tests through the Student Enrichment Center.

Credit or Contact Hours Credit for course work is recorded in semester hours. One semester hour credit is given for one hour of class work, two hours of laboratory or three hours shop work per week during a 16 week term. Manipulative laboratory credit is one semester hour for each three hours of work. Manipulative laboratory involves development of skills and job proficiency. Co-op Education credit is one semester hour of credit for 10 hours of work per week.

Maximum Course Load Students are encouraged not to enroll in more courses than they can successfully complete. Students enrolling for 19 credit hours up to 22 maximum credit hours must have special permission from the faculty advisor and VP of Learning and Student Services and have a GPA of 3.00 or higher.

Class Attendance Students are expected to attend and be on time for all classes, labs and clinical periods and shop sessions. A student who never attends class will be assigned a grade of “NS” (no show). A student who is absent for five consecutive class sessions or two consecutive weeks of class or whose total absences exceed 20% of the total scheduled hours for a class, laboratory period or shop session will be automatically withdrawn

41 from class by their instructor and assigned a grade of “W” (Withdrawn) if the withdrawal date is prior to the 30% point of the course (30% of the total scheduled hours of the class). If the withdrawal date is after the 30% point, the student will be assigned a grade of either “WP” (Withdrawn Pass) or “WF” (Withdrawn Fail), depending upon whether the student was passing or failing the class at the time of withdrawal. (For Individualized Instruction, a student must complete 100% of required hours.) Health Science programs may have more stringent attendance requirements. If the student does not follow through with official withdrawal procedures, the instructor will complete a drop/add form and give it to the Registrar in Stu- dent Services when a student has been withdrawn for attendance reasons. The instructor will have the option to assign a non-punitive grade, regardless of the student’s academic status in that course. Exceptions to the above policies will be made only on rare occasions when the nature of a student’s absences warrant such exception. Appeals should be made in writing to the VP for Learning and Student Services. Permission to be readmitted to class (and thereby remove the withdrawal grade) will be granted by joint approval of the instructor responsible for the course and the VP for Learning and Student Services.

Final Exams Final exams in all subjects will be held at the end of each semester. These evaluations (tests or other) combined with the student’s record in class will con- stitute the final grade.

Grade Reports Final grade reports will be mailed to the student. If the student has any outstanding debt to the college, the grade report will be held until the debt is resolved.

Change of Name or Address Students should immediately report any change of name or address on the appropriate form to the Student Services Office.

Student Classification

Full-Time Student:* A student enrolled for 12 or more credit hours.

Part-Time Student:* A student enrolled for less than 12 credit hours.

Freshman: A student with fewer than 32 semester hours of credit.

Sophomore: A student with 32 or more semester hours of credit.

*Since the summer semester is an abbreviated term, 9 or more credit hours is considered full-time during the summer; less than 9 hours is considered part-time.

42 For financial aid purposes, a student must be enrolled for 12 semester hours of credit during any semester for which he/she wishes to be considered full-time, including the summer semester.

Graduation Requirements It is the responsibility of each student to know and to meet the graduation requirements of the College in her/his particular program of study and to maintain the minimum required grade average. Counselors and faculty advisors are available to work with individual students, but the final responsibility for meeting graduation requirements lies with the student. The following list constitutes the minimum requirements for the Associate in Applied Science Degree, Associate in General Education Degree and Diploma: 1. Satisfy proficiency standards in English, math, and reading. Com- plete all course requirements as outlined by curriculums, achieve an overall grade point average of 2.00 or above with all passing grades. 2. Students who fail individual subjects or have incomplete grades must make up such deficiencies before being allowed to graduate. 3. Students graduating from a diploma or associate degree program are required to take either the ETS Proficiency Profile and/or the ACT Career Readiness Certification examinations prior to graduation. The results of this testing do not have any impact upon graduation and are utilized for the purposes of assessing the extent to which graduates have attained college-level general education competencies. The results of the assessment are utilized to determine the need for improvement strategies in curriculum coursework directly related to core general education competencies. The ACT Career Readiness Certification is an industry-recognized credential that is beneficial to students with job placement. 4. Applications for graduation must be submitted to the Student Ser- vices Office at least one semester prior to the completion of course requirements. One semester prior to the semester that the student expects to complete diploma or degree requirements, the student is expected to have a preliminary record check by an academic advisor. It is the student’s responsibility to arrange for a final record check with the Director of Admissions. 5. Students are expected to be present for graduation practice and ceremony, if participating. 6. Students must fulfill all financial obligations to the College.

Graduation Graduation exercises are held each year at the end of the summer semester.

Graduation With Honors and High Honors A graduate who completes two-thirds of his/her curriculum program at MTCC with an accumulated grade point average of 3.50 to 3.79 on a 4.0 scale

43 will be graduated with “honors.” Graduates with an accumulated grade point average of 3.80 to 4.0 will graduate with “high honors.” These distinctions will be noted on the diploma and on the student’s permanent record.

Graduation Caps and Gowns All orders for caps, gowns, and graduation invitations will be made through the Student Services Office. Notices will be posted relevant to dates for measurements. Students are urged to be prompt when making these orders.

Completion of Two A.A.S. Degrees Students who fulfill degree requirements for two curriculum programs within a prescribed term of study shall be awarded only one degree at commence- ment. However, completion of both degree requirements will be noted on the student’s permanent record and credentials. Any MTCC graduate who desires a second degree must fulfill all degree requirements for the second degree plus a minimum of 20 semester hour credits earned in residency beyond the first degree. Students with an Associate Degree from another accredited institution may receive a second Associate Degree from MTCC by fulfilling the conditions outlined above.

44 Distance Learning & Non-Traditional Classes Distance Learning Distance Learning is teaching and learning across geographical distances through the use of a Course Management System (CMS), a software program for online course delivery. MTCC utilizes Blackboard and Moodle CMS, and students use computers and the Internet to access course materials, lectures, notes, assignments, and tests. Distance learning courses offer a high degree of flexibility and may eliminate barriers to educational goals. Students taking courses by distance learning methods must be self-motivated, self-disciplined learners, and should have average or above average computer skills. Since students work more independently than in traditional courses, distance learning may not be the best method of instruction for all students. All facilities and resources available to traditional MTCC students, such as student services, library resources, and support services, are also available to the distance learner, and the same tuition and fees apply, as does curriculum credit. MTCC charges no student fees solely associated with Distance Learning courses.

Methods of Instruction in Distance Education Classes • Online class instruction is offered off campus and delivered via the Inter- net. Students receive their assignments and information from an instructor, participate in online discussion forums, submit work, and take tests through Blackboard or Moodle CMS. However, a student may be required to come to campus or select a college approved proctor to complete an exam. Instructors are available by email, telephone, and on campus during office hours. These sections are designated by 95, and 96 on the academic schedule or roster.

An Orientation for online classes is provided and it is highly recommended that all online students attend this meeting; the orientation will provide useful information, resources, and tutorials that can help a student succeed in distance education courses. By completing the orientation prior to taking an online course, a student will be better prepared and ready to concentrate on the course content, rather than logistics and software issues. Location: main campus. Date: first day of classes for each semester.

• Hybrid courses are offered on campus, but they have an internet component. Students will meet with their professor in a classroom at predetermined days/times. The online portion of the course is supplemented with class notes, assignments, tests, and discussion forums, which are available online through Blackboard or Moodle. These sections are designated by 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, and 46 in the academic schedule or roster.

45 • North Carolina Information Highway (NCIH), also known as the Infor- mation Highway courses, are teleconferences that are delivered in a special classroom on campus at a specific time and day. This method enables an instructor at one location to teach to one or more other locations. It also allows MTCC to provide courses that might otherwise not be available lo- cally. It is full, two-way, audio/video communication; classes are both sent and received using microphones, video cameras, television monitors, and telephones in the Interactive Television (ITV) classroom. Blackboard and/ or Moodle are utilized as a supplementary component for testing and assignments. Sections that are designated by a 67, 68, 69, and 70 are NCIH classes in the academic schedule or roster. • Web-Assisted classes meet face to face for all class meetings, but students are required to have internet access as a supplemental part of the course. My Math Lab, My Art Lab, Web Tutor, and My Education Lab are a few of the online web-assisted programs that we utilize. Section 71 and 72 on the academic roster are web-assisted classes in the academic schedule or roster. • Telecourse is an innovative instructional method involving the use of television programs, textbooks, CD’s, and other materials to provide distant access to a limited number of curriculum courses. These courses are designated by 60 section on the academic roster.

Non-Traditional Classes

Saturday Classes Traditionally, curriculum classes have been offered at MTCC only during the regular workweek. However, beginning in 1998, occasional courses will be offered to MTCC students who would prefer to attend classes on Saturdays due to work, family or social commitments during the workweek. Student demand and availability of instructors will determine which classes will be offered each semester. The requirements for these classes are the same as for other curriculum classes of the same title and course number. However, since these classes are condensed into one meeting per week, rather than two, three or more, students will be expected to attend class for an extended period of time each Saturday. The total number of contact hours will be the same as for classes offered during the workweek.

Individualized Instruction (Independent Study) Students may under certain circumstances register for courses by Indi- vidualized Instruction. Students who wish to register for a course through Individualized Instruction should contact the Student Services Office to procure the appropriate form to be completed. The student is required to have a 2.50 grade point average or recommendation of faculty advisor, present reasons why the course cannot be taken in a regular class, obtain written approval from the

46 instructor of the course and the VP for Learning and Student Services, and submit a completed Request for Individualized Instruction Form to the Student Services Office. No more than one course per semester may be taken as Individualized Instruction, for a maximum of 12 semester hours that can be counted toward graduation.

Cooperative Education (Co-Op) Cooperative Education (Co-op) is designed to give students an opportunity to receive non-major elective credit, and in some limited cases, required credit for on-the-job work experience. Students participating in the cooperative education program will work under the direction of the MTCC Cooperative Education Director, their job supervisor, and their Curriculum Advisor. The work experience used for co-op must be significantly related to the student’s program of study. Furthermore, the cooperative education student may receive up to eight hours of academic credit for an approved Associate of Applied Science program, up to four hours of academic credit for an approved Diploma program, up to two hours of academic credit for an approved Certificate program, and one credit hour of academic credit in the Associate of Arts program.

Eligibility Any student who is enrolled in a curriculum program which offers Co-op for academic credit may be eligible if they meet the following requirements: 1. Be approved by his/her advisor. 2. Be approved by the Co-op Director. 3. Students with previous work experience must be registered for classes in their program of study, or must have completed such courses before taking Co-op classes. 4. Students with no previous work history must complete at least one semester at the college before taking Co-op Education classes.

Academic Credit A minimum work load of 10 hours per week is required to qualify for the program. In most cases, the student may earn credit toward the Associate in Applied Science and Associate in Arts degree programs.

Co-op Options Eligible students in the College Transfer program must use Co-op credit for non-major elective credit. Students in Technical Degree programs must use Co-op credit for non-major elective credit, except in programs where Co- op courses are listed as a requirement. Approval for substituting Co-op for required curriculum courses must be approved by the Dean of Curriculum Programs, the VP for Learning and Student Services, the Curriculum Advi- sor, and the Co-op Director.

47 Application Procedure Students interested in participating in the Co-op program must contact the Co-op Director and curriculum advisor. Students are selected for Co-op based on an evaluation of their interview and other pertinent criteria. After a student has been approved for Co-op, the curriculum advisor will assist him/her in locating an appropriate assignment. Students already working must have the approval of the College and employer.

Registration Students must have the approval of the Co-op Director and curriculum advisor before registering for a Co-op work experience. Those students who are approved must follow normal registration procedures. Students are invited to inquire at the Co-op Office for more detailed information.

High School Completion Adults may complete high school education through the High School Equivalency Program. This program is available to all non-high school graduates who are at least eighteen years of age or those sixteen years of age who have been out of public school six months or longer. Students between the age of sixteen and eighteen must have a minor permission form signed by a parent or legal guardian, as well as the signature of the principal at the last high school attended. Adults may earn a high school equivalency certificate by successfully completing the General Educational Development tests (GED). GED tests are designed to measure a person’s knowledge and skill in five areas. Test One measures the ability to use correct and effective English in written expression. Tests Two, Three and Four measure the ability to read, understand and interpret material in social studies, natural sciences and literature, respectively. Test Five measures the ability to solve problems in mathematics. GED tests are given according to the schedule published in local newspapers and in the Schedule of Classes published each semester. Generally, these tests will be given on the 1st and 3rd Thursday and Friday of each month. There is a $25.00 charge for the series of GED tests, paid once per year. Equivalency Certificates are issued by the N.C. State Board of Education and are recognized almost without exception as the legal equivalent of a diploma from an accredited high school.

48 Student Expenses McDowell Technical Community College receives financial support from local, state and federal sources, allowing educational opportunities at a minimum cost. Tuition fees are set by the State Board of Community Colleges and are subject to change without notice. Cost of textbooks and supplies are additional expenses which vary according to the program of study. The payment of tuition and all required fees must be made at the time of registration unless deferred payment arrangements have been made with the Business Office. *Students are not officially registered until tuition payment and fees have been received in the Business Office or deferred by Financial Aid or a signed Promissory Note. **The following information applies to students enrolled in curriculum programs (technical, vocational, college transfer and general education). For information on Continuing Education fees, see the appropriate section of this catalog….

TUITION (In-State) $76.00 per credit hour, up to a maximum tuition charge

of $1,216.00 per semester. [16 or more credit hours=$1,216.00)

TUITION (Out-of-State) Any vocational or technical student whose legal residence is outside the State of North Carolina, or, in the case of students who are boarding or living with relatives in the community, whose parents or guardians are living outside the State, shall pay tuition

fees as follows: $268.00 per semester credit hour, up to 16 credit hours; maximum tuition charge of $4,288.00 per semester.

Past Due Accounts Students may not register for a semester, receive transcripts or participate in graduation until deferred or past due charges are paid in the Business Office. Residency Status For Tuition Purposes Under North Carolina law, each person must be classified as a resident or nonresident for tuition purposes. North Carolina law (General Statute 116-143.1) requires that , “To qualify as an in-state resident for tuition purposes, a person must have established legal residence (domicile) in North Carolina and maintained that legal residence for at least 12 months immediately prior to enrollment in order to be considered for classification as a North Carolina resident.”

49 Failure to provide accurate information for residency classification can result in classification as a nonresident and/or disciplinary action. All applicants who are petitioning for in-state residency must complete a North Carolina Residency- and-Tuition Status Application Form for further consideration and appeal. This form is available in the Student Services Office of the Administration Building (Building 11). Questions regarding residency status should be directed to the VP for Learning and Student Services. Regulations concerning the classification of students by residence are set forth in “A Manual to Assist The Public Higher Education Institutions of North Carolina in the Matter of Student Residence Classification for Tuition Purposes.” A copy of the manual is available in the Student Services Office for student inspection.

Tuition Exemptions College tuition exemptions are as follows: • Current high school students taking courses at community colleges. • Some students enrolled in the BLET training program . • Any person who is the survivor of a law enforcement officer, firefighter, volunteer firefighter, or rescue squad worker killed as a direct result of traumatic injury sustained in the line of duty may be eligible for a tuition waiver. • Any spouse or children (ages 17 to 22) of law enforcement officers, firefighters, volunteer firefighters, or rescue squad workers who are- per manently and totally disabled as a result of a traumatic injury sustained in the line of duty may be eligible for waiver of tuition.

Late Registration Fee Currently enrolled students who do not pay tuition and fees on or before the day of registration will be assessed a $5.00 late charge. New students or former students (students who were not enrolled during the past academic year) who register during the prescribed registration period will not be assessed a late registration fee.

Educational Testing Fee Students enrolled in the Practical Nursing Education and Associate Degree Nursing Programs are charged an educational testing fee each semester. There are testing fees for PNE and for ADN students which will be provided at student orientation.

Transcript Copy Fee Students should go to Student Services to request a transcript. A fee of $3.00 is charged for copies of official transcripts.

51 Additional Expenses Some curriculums require students to purchase additional supplies, equipment and/or uniforms. Students should contact the instructor/advisor in the curriculum they plan to enter.

Book Costs Students are required to purchase the necessary textbooks for courses. Copy- ing of textbooks is not allowed and is a violation of copyright laws in most cases. The average cost ranges from approximately $500 to $800 per semester, depending on the student’s chosen curriculum. Workbooks and certain text materials which are expendable items may be required by some instructors.

Continuing Education Fire and Rescue College Fee Students attending the McDowell Fire and Rescue College will be charged a fee of $10.00.

Returned Check Fee A $25.00 service charge is assessed for each returned check.

Refund Policy Tuition refunds are not automatic; it is the student’s responsibility to file a request. Tuition refunds for students shall not be made unless the student is, in the judgment of the institution, compelled to withdraw for unavoidable reasons. A 100% tuition refund can be made to a student who withdraws by registration day. A 75% tuition refund can be made to a student who withdraws before the 10% point in the semester. An official withdrawal must be made by completing the “Add/Drop/Withdrawal” form. An official request for a refund must be made by completing the “Request for Refund” form. Both of these forms should be submitted together to the Student Services Office for processing. Tuition refunds will not be considered after the 10% point in the semester. There is no refund made on activity fees or insurance unless the class is cancelled. The “Request for Tuition Refund” and “Add/Drop Withdrawal” forms may be obtained in the Student Services Office. Students will receive a copy of the textbook refund policy when textbooks are published in the College Bookstore. Books must be returned within ten days of registration for consideration of refund. All refunds are subject to the terms and conditions stated on the textbook refund policy.

52 Student Financial Aid Students who have satisfactory academic records and are in need of aid may qualify for financial assistance. Although the primary responsibility for financing an education remains with students and families, McDowell Technical Community College participates in several programs designed to supplement individual and family contributions. Financial aid may consist of grants, scholarships, campus employment, or any combination of these as determined by the policies of the Financial Aid Office.

Eligibility for Financial Aid Eligibility requirements for receiving financial aid may change from year to year. Specific requirements are established by the U.S. Department of Education for federally funded aid programs. The North Carolina State Education Assistance Authority and the North Carolina Community College System determine eligibility for state funded programs. Any local and/or private scholarship sources determine the eligibility for awarding funds from their respective programs. Students must be in a program leading to a degree, diploma, or eligible certificate (at least 16 semester hours and/or 38 contact hours in length) to be eligible for Federal financial aid. Therefore, students enrolled as Special Credit/Undecided are not eligible to receive Federal financial aid. In addition, any student in default of a student loan or owing a repayment of Pell Grant funds will not be awarded financial aid. Students must have a high school diploma or GED certificate in order to receive federal and/or state financial aid. An official copy of that transcript must be on file in the MTCC Admissions Office. All students receiving financial aid must maintain satisfactory academic progress. At MTCC, students must maintain a grade point average of 2.0 and complete 67% of all credit hours attempted. Students that receive financial aid and subsequently withdraw from classes before the end of the semester may be required to repay a portion of Pell Grant and SEOG funds. Students falling below the minimum standard for academic progress and/or in ineligible status due to overpayment of Pell Grant funds or student loan default should contact the MTCC Financial Aid Office to determine how their eligibility may be regained. (See upcoming section regarding satisfactory academic progress for further explanation.)

Important Information for Pell Grant Recipients Regarding Lifetime Eligibility In December 2011, President Obama signed into law the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2012 (Public Law 112-74). This law significantly impacts Federal Student Aid Programs. One of the most significant changes is Federal Pell Grant Duration of Eligibility. The law reduces the duration of a student’s eligibility to receive a Federal Pell Grant to 12 full-time semesters (or it’s equivalent). This provision applies to all Pell Grant eligible students effective the 2012/2013 academic year. The calculation of the duration of the student’s eligibility will include all years, no matter how far in the past, that the student has received Federal Pell Grant funding. Therefore, every semester

53 that a student has received Pell Grant funding will count toward the semester limit. Students that have attended at less than full-time status in the past, or at present, will be assessed accordingly. The MTCC Financial Aid Office will attempt to notify students of their remaining eligibility as they apply or reapply for financial aid.

Application For Financial Aid Students applying for financial aid at MTCC should complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). There is no technical deadline to apply for financial aid at MTCC, but students should apply at least eight weeks prior to the beginning of their first semester at MTCC. Funds are limited in some financial aid categories, i.e. Federal Work Study and Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG). Therefore, early applicants are most likely to receive assistance if eligible and funds are available. Students may also be required to submit additional internal and external scholarship applications if interested in applying for aid other than or in addition to Federal and State funds. FAFSA forms and scholarship applications are available in the MTCC Financial Aid Office and at local high school guidance offices. Student financial aid information is kept confidential within the MTCC Financial Aid Office. Student financial aid awards are disbursed once a semester and can be adjusted according to changes in eligibility and enrollment.

In order to guarantee timely usage of financial aid funds at registration, students should apply via the FAFSA prior to the dates listed below:

Fall Semester July 1 Spring Semester November 1 Summer Semester April 1

Applications received after the dates listed will be processed as quickly as possible, but there will be no guarantee that the student will have a definite financial aid decision prior to the beginning of the semester.

Awarding of Financial Aid Most awards on the student’s award offer letter are based on full-time enrollment. The award will be reduced proportionately if the student attends less than full-time. The requirement for full-time eligibility for Federal and/or State financial aid is 12 or more credit hours; 3/4 time is 9, 10, or 11 credit hours; 1/2 time is 6, 7, or 8 credit hours. In some cases, funds may be disbursed to students attending less than 1/2 time (5 credit hours or less). Students must always be enrolled in at least six credit hours to be eligible for the NC Community College Grant and NC Education Lottery Scholarship. Students enrolled in certain programs of study that do not lead to any Associate’s Degree will have their award(s) calculated based on a clock hour formula instead of credit hours. The credit hours are converted into clock hours prior to any award being determined.

54 Beginning in Fall 2011, students enrolled in the following certificates and diplomas will have their financial aid eligibility calculated based strictly on clock hours, instead of credit hours or clock hour conversion:

• Cosmetology Diploma • Esthetics Certificate • Cosmetology Instructor Certificate • Esthetics Instructor Certificate • Basic Law Enforcement Certificate

Students receiving financial aid for these curriculum programs will be paid an initial disbursement of aid. They must then complete a specified amount of hours and weeks of instruction prior to being paid their second and subsequent disbursements. Specifics of each program are available in the MTCC Financial Aid Office. Because of the number of credit and/or contact hours, the following certificates are not eligible for financial aid:

• Collision Repair and Refinishing Certificate • Cosmetology- Manicurist/Nail Technology Certificate • Cosmetology- Manicurist Instructor Certificate

Nondiscrimination in Aid Awards As with all programs of the College, financial aid awards are made equitably without regard to age, race, color, sex, handicap, disability, religion, political affiliation, or national/ethnic origin. For further information, see the College’s policies on discrimination in the General Information Section of this catalog.

Satisfactory Academic Progress Standards Federal regulations require that institutions of higher education establish minimum standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) that students must meet in order to receive federal/state financial aid. This progress is measured qualitatively and quantitatively. The academic records of students are evaluated at the end of each semester, including Summer. In order to accurately measure a student’s progress, the total academic record must be considered. This includes classes transferred in from other institutions, developmental and curriculum classes. To be eligible for financial aid, students must meet the following minimum guidelines: • Qualitative: Maintain a minimum grade point average (GPA) of 2.0. • Quantitative: Complete a minimum of 67% of cumulative credit hours attempted. • Time Frame: Must complete program of study in a timeframe not to exceed 150% of the length of the program for full-time students. Transfer credits used toward the student’s program of study will be considered for maximum time frame.

55 If a student fails to maintain satisfactory academic progress standards by either the quantitative and/or qualitative measures, he/she will lose eligibility for Federal and/or State financial aid. If the student feels that he/she has a legitimate mitigating circum- stance which prevented successful completion of course work, he/she may complete a Statement of Financial Aid Warning requesting reconsideration for financial aid. This statement is presented to the Director of Financial Aid for consideration. If the warning status is granted, the student will receive aid for the upcoming semester and must agree to complete all classes with a grade of “C” or better. Failure to do so will result in suspension of Federal and/or State financial aid. If the student is unable to meet the minimum overall academic standards despite successful completion of all classes in the semester of warning, he/she may complete the Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress Appeal Request to apply for continued eligibility. Additionally, if a student does not meet the requirements set forth in their Statement of Financial Aid Warning, he/she must appeal via the Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress Appeal Request to apply for future financial aid eligibility. Appeal decisions are made by the MTCC Financial Aid/Scholarship Committee and are final. Only one appeal per academic year will be considered.

Title IV Repayment Policy Per Federal Financial Aid Regulations, students receiving financial aid from Title IV funds (Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant and/or Federal Direct Loans) will be required to repay a portion of their awarded financial aid if the student withdraws from all classes prior to the 60% point of the semester. These requirements do not apply to any student who does not actually withdraw from all classes. For example, if a student enrolled in 12 credit hours withdraws from a 3-hour course only, because the student has 9 remaining hours, this is not a complete withdrawal. Students eligible for federal financial aid begin earning Title IV financial aid funds on the first day of class attendance. Students are awarded funds on the assump- tion that he/she is eligible for the full amount received. Students that stop attending classes should obtain a drop/add/withdrawal form from Student Services. Each instructor should be contacted so that the last day of attendance can be documented and the appropriate grade given. If the student ceases to attend without informing his/her instructors and/or Registrar’s Office, the student will be withdrawn from classes by the instructor as the maximum absence number in the class is reached. Once the student is withdrawn from all classes, the MTCC Financial Aid Office is responsible for calculating any amount of overpayment based on the last date of attendance if the student completely withdraws from all classes. The student could be responsible for repayment in part to The US Department of Education, in addition to McDowell Technical Community College. The student is given written notification via US Postal Service of the amount that is owed due to overpayment. The amount of the repayment is due in full when notification is received. As long as there is any unpaid balance at MTCC or with the Department of Education, the student will not be awarded financial aid funds. Additionally, any unpaid balance at MTCC will prevent the student from future registration of classes or receiving MTCC transcripts. **See page 45-47 for more information about withdrawal procedures and class

Types of Aid I. Government Aid Programs Pell Grant The Federal Pell Grant Program provides the foundation on which the financial aid package is developed. Students begin the financial aid process by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). From this application, an expected family contribution (EFC) is calculated to determine the family’s contribution to the student’s education. This figure is used by the Financial Aid Office to determine the amount of the Pell Grant award. Federal Pell Grant awards can range from $626 to $5775 per academic year depending on enrollment status. Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG) This grant is awarded to students with exceptional financial need. Limited funds are available with priority given to students receiving Pell Grant funds with a low expected family contribution. Priority is given to students completing their FAFSA prior to March 15.

62 Guidance and Counseling McDowell Technical Community College recognizes the diversity of students and programs of instruction represented at the College. It is of utmost importance that faculty, staff and students become aware of and utilize the services available to them. Instructors and academic advisors have the most direct contact with students; therefore, the identification of student needs and problems as well as referral to the Student Services Office when deemed necessary is vital to the educational process. Trained Counselors are available to all students during day and evening hours Monday through Thursday and day hours on Friday. The primary objectives of Guidance and Counseling services are:

1.To assist students in developing to maximum potential. 2.To assist students in achieving an understanding and acceptance of themselves. 3.To assist students in developing decision-making skills.

Services are available to assist students in coping with academic or vocational problems. Students are assisted according to their individual abilities, backgrounds and situations in life.

Health Services The College does not have a health clinic to provide hospitalization or emergency services. The physical location of the College campus is easily accessible to hospital facilities in both Marion and Morganton. In the event of an emergency, EMS ambulances are available on a 24-hour schedule; phone 911. First-aid supplies are available in all shop areas and in each campus building. If a student becomes ill during class and is unable to go by him/herself to the first aid station, it is the responsibility of the individual’s instructor to accompany the student there. If the student is unable to contact a parent, spouse or relative, then the instructor should contact the Student Services Office (or the Receptionist after 8:00 pm), who will contact the parent, spouse or relative.

Walk-ins are accepted; however, appointments are encouraged to guarantee the student these services in a timely manner.

Placement Tests In order to guarantee high program standards and student success, it is important that the academic abilities of students be equal to program entrance requirements. The “open door” policy allows all students the opportunity to obtain higher education; however, program entrance requirements must be met. Each new student, except as designated below, is required to take a placement test prior to enrolling in a curriculum at McDowell Technical Community College. These tests are administered in the Student Enrichment Center. Testing assures that students will be enrolled in classes appropriate to academic abilities. It is recommended that students take the test one to two semesters prior to enrollment to provide time to address any academic deficiencies. Student Enrichment Center staff will advise each student according to the results of his/her placement test.

The test or parts of the test may be waived under these circumstances:

• Submit official ASSET, Accuplacer or COMPASS scores taken within the last five years from another college. • Submit an official transcript showing completion of college level English or math within the last 10 years at an accredited college with a grade of C or better. • Submit proof of SAT writing score of 500 or above or ACT English score of 18 or Reading score of 22 or above taken within the last five years. • Submit proof of SAT math score of 500 or above or ACT Math score

Exemptions for testing are not made for applicants seeking admission to the Associate Degree Nursing or the Practical Nursing Programs.

About the Test The college uses the following tests for placement purposes: • Accuplaceer (NCDAP) North Carolina Diagnostic and Placement Test • Computer Adaptive Placement, Assessment, and Support System (COMPASS) Reading.

COMPASS is a computerized adaptive test and is not timed. This test is for reading placement. Accuplacer (NCDAP), the North Caro- lina Diagnostic and Placement Test, is made up of two major sections: Mathematics and English and Reading. It is an untimed test, except for the essay portion.There is currently no fee for the tests. Entrance requirements vary for individual courses and programs. The sections required are based on the chosen curriculum. Students will receive the test results immediately. Results from tests do not affect eligibility for admission, but developmental courses may be required as part of the student’s curriculum if the test indicates the need. Prior to taking the test, applicants are encouraged to obtain the Sample Test Questions from the Student En- richment Center or the NC Works Career Center. They can also be accessed on the MTCC website under Placement Testing. After completing the practice test samples an applicant may find it helpful to review some of the test subject matter before attempting the test. A placement test review class is offered at the NC Works Career Center approximately once a semester. For placement into MAT 271 and Calculus I, see Student Enrichment staff.

Placement Testing Rules • Must have an application on file with Student Services. • Must make an appointment with the Student Enrichment Center.

Developmental Studies McDowell Technical Community College has a Developmental Studies program designed to identify and assist students with academic weaknesses. Students scoring below proficiency levels determined by the College are required to enroll in the Developmental courses appropriate for the identified weakness. Required Developmental courses are prerequisites for certain other courses and must be taken. These courses may also be taken by others, at the student’s initiative, or on recommendation of a faculty member.

It provides students free access to computers and the internet in order to fulfill technological requirements in their courses at MTCC. Students may bring their own laptops to the ARC where they will be able to find power outlets and access wireless internet. The ARC also provides free tutoring in basic math and English topics during specified times each semester.

Student Grievance Procedure It is the policy of McDowell Technical Community College to provide all students with the means to seek resolution to any problem affecting their enrollment. The primary objective of a grievance procedure is to ensure that student rights are protected. Further, it is essential that the student be given adequate opportunity to bring valid complaints and problems to the attention of the Col- lege with the assurance that student’s grievances will be handled fairly, rapidly, and in a non-threatening atmosphere. A grievance is defined as the dissatisfaction that occurs when a student has reason to believe a condition or a situation, or an action affecting the individual is unjust, inequitable, and/or a hindrance to effective performance A grievable action is an action that is in violation of written campus policies or procedures or constitutes arbitrary, capricious, or unequal application of written campus policies or procedures. In implementing a grievance policy, the College emphasizes the importance of rectifying any issues before utilizing the grievance policy. All students and faculty members, administrators, or staff members have an obligation to make every effort to resolve problems fairly and informally so that they do not become sources of grievances to be pursued formally through the grievance procedure. However, the College realizes that all problems cannot be corrected with an informal resolution. The procedure is not intended to initiate disciplinary action against a student or a member of the faculty, staff, or administration; or to alter college policy. It is important to note that all matters will be handled in a professional manner and parties will be treated professionally and fairly with no retaliation before, during and after the grievance procedure.

Procedures A formal complaint may be filed any time by students who believe that a personal right has been violated. The following procedure is established to provide prompt and equitable resolution as they relate to claims of discrimination based on age, sex, (including sexual harassment) religion, race, color, national/ethnic origin, disability or political affiliation, or have been

69 excluded from participation in, be denied admission to or the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination in his/her education program. (Because of the private and sensitive nature of certain incidents, an aggrieved student may choose a third party mediator to help resolve complaints on an informal basis.)

The following outlines the grievance procedure:

1. Students with concerns should first discuss their problem with the faculty or staff member(s) who are involved. (A third party may be present.) All parties should attempt to resolve the issue in discussion. 2. If the issue is not resolved, the student must talk with the faculty/staff member’s immediate supervisor within ten working days, who will attempt to resolve the complaint. 3. In the event that the grievance cannot be resolved within the department, students should submit a written grievance to the Vice President for Learning and Student Services within thirty working days after completion of step # two (2). The complaint should specify the time, place, and nature of the incident that resulted in the complaint. (Forms are available in the Student Services Office and on the MTCC website www.mcdowelltech.edu) 4. Copies of the complaint will be forwarded to the appropriate administrator of the area involved. 5. Within ten working days, the Vice President for Learning and Student Services will contact all parties involved (including third parties) and request a meeting. 6. If the situation cannot be resolved during the meeting in Step # 5, the Vice President for Learning and Student Services will establish the Grievance Committee within twenty working days. The student or employee may have persons appear on his/her behalf provided that a list of names is given to the Chairperson of the Grievance Committee five school days prior to the meeting. (The Committee with guidance from the Chair [who will receive appropriate training for the procedure] will investigate and evaluate all information provided. A period of ten days is allowed for this process.) The student or employee portion of the Grievance Committee meeting shall be taped to ensure that a full and accurate record of the information presented is available to the student or employee and committee members and to facilitate the writing of the minutes of the meeting. Copies of the tape may be made for the student at cost. The discussion following the student part of the meeting is considered a closed session.

The Grievance Committee shall consist of: 1. Chairperson (non-voting member). 2. Student Services administrator. This person will serve as student advocate. (Non-voting member). 3. Two faculty members, at least one being from the same department as the aggrieved student.

77 Student Activities Student Government Association On February 5, 1981, the Board of Trustees of McDowell Technical Com- munity College approved granting the existing Student Advisory Council full status as a Student Government Association. The duties and responsibilities of the SGA are to serve in an advisory capacity to the President, Administration and Faculty on matters pertaining to student interest and welfare. Participation in SGA is an important way for students to have input into decision-making at the college. The MTCC Student Government Association actively participates in and supports the state student government organization known as N4CSGA. The academic, educational, career and social needs and concerns of the students at MTCC are addressed and given due consideration through this association both at the local level and state level. The president of the SGA serves as an ex- officio member of the Board of Trustees of MTCC. Any curriculum student who is attending at least half-time and has at least a 2.0 GPA is eligible to be a voting member of the SGA. Non-SGA members who wish to have input into college decisions or address issues which are of concern to themselves or others should contact an SGA member or the SGA Advisor to express those concerns. To request a time to speak before members of the Student Government Association, a student should contact the SGA advisor or an SGA officer to schedule time on the SGA meeting agenda. The SGA advisor can provide additional information about how to become an SGA member, more complete information about SGA activities, or a list of SGA members and officers. The staff member from Student Services who is designated as SGA advisor acts only to guide and represent staff and administrative viewpoints. The SGA Advisor is located in the Student Enrichment Center. The Student Government Association sponsors various events, including Spring Fling, Summer Splash and Fall Festival. All curriculum students are invited to participate free of charge; these activities are paid for through student activity fees at the beginning of each semester. Students may bring a guest to these events for a nominal charge. This charge covers food for the event. Occasionally, the Student Government Association will sponsor dances or other events. Announcements of these events will be posted or presented in class. A nominal fee may be charged for guests at these events. Students who wish to form a new club or organization on campus must seek official recognition through the Student Government Association.

Phi Theta Kappa National Honor Society-Beta Zeta Lambda Chapter A chapter of the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society was organized at McDowell Tech in 1998. The purpose of Phi Theta Kappa is to recognize and encourage scholarship among associate degree students. To achieve this purpose, Phi Theta Kappa provides opportunities for the development of leadership and service, for an intellectual climate to exchange ideas and ideals, for lively fellowship for scholars, and for stimulation of interest in continuing academic excellence. The

78 Society is recognized by the American Association of Community Colleges as the official general honor society for two-year colleges.

Each fall and spring semester, the Beta Zeta Lambda chapter may extend an invitation to MTCC students who have been recommended by their advisors and have completed at least 12 credit hours of course work required for an associate degree and who have a GPA of 3.5 or higher.

National Technical Honor Society McDowell Technical Community College faculty and staff organized a chapter of the National Technical Honor Society during the 2000-2001 academic year. NTHS, as it is abbreviated, began in 1984 to reward excellence in workforce education. It is an internationally recognized and proven program with over 1,500 member schools and colleges. Student membership in NTHS is available to those who seek to uphold critical workplace values and high levels of achievement. Once yearly, NTHS may extend an invitation to MTCC students who have completed at least 6 credit hours of course work required for their program of study, have achieved a GPA of at least 3.0, and have been recommended by their faculty advisor.

79 Continuing Education

McDowell Technical Community College, through the Department of Con- tinuing Education, offers life-long learning opportunities to any adult, regardless of his/her educational background. A wide variety of programs are offered to provide opportunities for individuals to develop to their fullest potential whatever vocational, intellectual or cultural talents they wish. Courses are designed to provide educational opportunities to prepare individuals for entry into an occupation, to retrain or upgrade the skills of those who are already employed, or to provide cultural and general interest courses for self-improvement. These non-curriculum classes may vary in length. Continuing Education courses may be organized on or off campus, day or night, based upon the interest shown by the community, the availability of competent instructors, and the limitations of available equipment, space, and funds.

Admission Requirements In general, all Continuing Education courses are open for enrollment to persons 18 years of age or older, or to those whose high school graduating class has graduated. However, because some specialty and advanced courses may be more difficult and require a greater degree of preparation, potential enrollees should be aware of the nature of the course requirements to determine their possible success in those courses. In certain specialized courses, ie:

Advanced Technology Training Apprenticeship Training Fire Services Training Law Enforcement Training Management Development Training New & Expanding Industrial Training potential students must be employed by or recommended by one of the requesting training agencies.

Course Descriptions/Schedules Specific course descriptions are provided in course schedules or may be fur- nished upon request. A course schedule is published each semester. Brochures are placed in appropriate areas throughout the county and courses may be advertised in local newspapers or on local radio stations.

Registration and Fees Adults should notify the College by phone, letter or personal visit to pre-register for each class. Official registration will be held on a designated pre-registration day or will be on the first class meeting. Registration fees for occupational, practical skills, avocational, and academic courses range from $50-

80 65 per course, depending on course length. Self-supporting class fees will vary, depending on the course. Registration fees for community service classes range from $5-30 per course, depending on course length.

*Senior Citizens, 65 years of age and older, are fee exempt, except for classes that are self-supporting. Registration fees for Continuing Education courses are set by the N.C. Legislature, and are subject to change. Fees are non-refundable, except when the class fails to materialize. An extra charge may be necessary in some courses for books, materials, and class supplies. Books and supplies may be purchased in the College Bookstore. When classes meet at neighborhood locations, the College Bookstore make arrangements for books to be purchased at the class meeting place.

Class Locations A number of Continuing Education classes are held on campus. Classes are conducted throughout McDowell County wherever a suitable meeting place can be arranged. Classes are organized in any community whenever a sufficient number of prospective class members indicate an interest.

Attendance A minimum enrollment of 10 persons is needed to conduct a class. Adults are expected to attend class regularly. Insufficient enrollment may result in cancellation of the class.

Certificates College credit is not granted for completion of courses in the Department of Continuing Education. However, certificates are awarded to students who successfully complete course requirements in classes which carry CEU credits. Licenses, diplomas, or other forms of recognition are awarded by certain agencies outside the College upon successful completion of specially designed courses. Certificates will not be released to students who have any outstanding debts to the college.

Continuing Education Units (CEU) The Continuing Education Department will award Continuing Education Units (CEU’s) for the successful completion of appropriate courses. The CEU was designed to recognize and record individual and institutional participation in non-traditional studies and special activities. The CEU is a recognized recording method for substantive non-credit learning experiences. A CEU is defined as “10 hours of participation in an organized Continuing Education experience under responsible sponsorship and qualified instruction or direction.”

81 Programs Offered in Continuing Education General Adult and Community Services The College is always concerned with identifying community potentials and community needs, drawing together resources at the College and other agencies to create new educational opportunities. Programs afford the opportunity for individuals to gain personal satisfaction through self-advancement. This includes opportunities to grow intellectually, to develop creative skills or talent, to learn hobby or leisure time activities, and to gain civic and cultural awareness. The general types of programs offered are:

Academic Courses Consumer Education Personal Business Education Health and Safety Education Citizenship Development Courses Language Arts Education Homemaking Education Creative Arts Education Family Life Programs Music/Dance Education

Occupational and Continuing Education Programs The college offers a number of Occupational and Continuing Educa- tion Services, including Teleconference Workshops, Computer Training, and a variety of specialized programs designed to enhance an individual’s employability, to help him or her learn a new career, to establish a pattern of growth and stability in business and industry, and to help individuals stay abreast of trends in their chosen field. These programs may be subdivided as follows:

Small Business Center McDowell Technical Community College’s Small Business Center (SBC) began operations on September 6, 1988. The center was established to provide McDowell County with its first comprehensive small business development and assistance program. The mission of the SBC is to train, counsel, develop and provide needed services for small businesses and their owners. As part of its provision of services, the SBC will attempt:

• To operate as an information service on small business issues and concerns.

82 • To coordinate the referral of small business owners/managers to acquire legal sources for in-depth assistance, counseling and financial assistance. • To assist in the preparation of business plans, loan packages and research projects related to small business growth and operation. • To provide limited tax and accounting services for sole proprietorship and partnership businesses. • To seek out information and assist in loan package preparation involving Federal and State financing programs for small business owners. • To deliver one-on-one business counseling. • To assist small business owners with marketing and management problems. • To offer seminars/workshops on timely topics of interest to the small business owner. • To offer a resource library of books and videos to be checked out by clients at no charge.

Customized Training Program The Customized Training Program supports the economic efforts of the State by providing education and training opportunities for eligible businesses and industries. Amended in 2008, this program combines the New and Expanding Industry Training Program and the Customized Industry Training Program to more effectively respond to business and industry. The Customized Industry Training Program also includes the former Focused Industry Training Program and shall offer programs and training services to assist new and existing business and industry to remain productive, profit- able, and within the State. The purpose of the Customized Training Program is to provide customized training assistance in support of full-time production and direct customer service positions created in the State of North Carolina, thereby enhancing the growth potential of companies located in the state while simultaneously preparing North Carolina’s workforce with the skills essential to successful employment in emerging industries.

Occupational Industry Training McDowell Technical Community College conducts in-plant courses to assist manufacturing, service and/or governmental organizations with in-service training of their employees. In-plant training is defined as an occupational extension course that meets the following conditions:

1) Training shall occur in the facilities or at the sites in which the organization normally operates. 2) Enrollment shall be limited to the employees of the organization in which the training occurs; trainees may be newly-hired employees who need entry level skills or existing employees who, due to documented changes in job content, need up-grading or retraining.

83 3) Training may partially be conducted at the employee’s assigned work station during normal working hours. 4) Training shall be directly related to job skills.

Examples of types of training offered to industry include: Statistical Process Control, Total Quality Management, Industrial Sewing, Weaving, Mold Line Training, Forklift Licensure, Blueprint Reading, Measuring In- struments, Metric System, Mathematics, Hydraulics and Pneumatics, Main- tenance Mechanics, Industrial Safety, Fire Brigade Training, Upholstery, Technical Writing, Communication Skills, Furniture Making, Furniture Framing, Fixer Training, etc. Companies officials who desire this type of training for their employees should contact MTCC for more information.

Management Development Training MTCC offers several different training options concerning Manage- ment Development. The college has certified instructors available in areas such as: McGraw-Hill Supervision Training, Zenger Miller Management Training, Deming Quality Control Training and the latest innovations in Total Quality Management.

Apprenticeship Training If a system of “learning by doing” under the guidance of “master crafts- men” has endured for over 4,000 years, the system undoubtedly contains basic qualitative factors for our contemporary society. These factors should be identified clearly and implemented properly where such training is needed. North Carolina is requiring increasingly greater numbers of highly trained men and women to keep pace with our rapidly changing economy. New demands on the abilities and experience of workers, who need wider training because of changing methods, materials and technology, call for a new look into educational methods. Apprenticeship is an effective means for a young person to develop formal skills. As such, it makes a major contribution to our state’s economic growth. McDowell Technical Community College can help train an employed apprentice by making available necessary courses, instructors and classrooms for supplemental related instruction. The main objective for the Apprenticeship Program is to combine 4,000 to 8,000 hours of on-the-job training with a program of formal related instruction through MTCC. The major objective of the related instruction is to teach an apprentice that part of the technical related information pertaining to his/her trade which can best be taught in the classroom. Other objectives include: development of an ability to apply technical related information to his or her trade, evolvement of proper attitudes and human

84 relations, and adjustment to social problems encountered in the world of work. The North Carolina Apprentice Council and Department of Labor have mandated that related training will be required of every apprentice. MTCC has some equivalent courses in the curriculum program that may offer the apprentice an opportunity to acquire an Associate Degree at the same time they are completing the Apprenticeship Program.

Emergency Services Training Fire Service Training MTCC provides a wide range of fire training opportunities to meet the continuing education training needs of area firefighters. The College offers all course and training requirements to obtain LEVEL II Certification, In- structor Certification, Hazardous Material Awareness Level and Hazardous Material Operational Level. The College also holds an Annual Fire and Rescue College. In total, the College offers over 150 courses annually in virtually every area of Fire Training.

Rescue Training MTCC provides a wide range of training opportunities to meet the continuing education training requirements of Rescue Personnel. The college offers Rescue Technician (RT) Certification for area rescue personnel. The Annual Fire and Rescue College also provides courses in areas such as Vehicle Extrication, Search Procedures, Man-Tracking, Hazardous Materials, etc.

Emergency Medical Services Training MTCC provides a wide range of training opportunities to meet the needs of area Emergency Medical Personnel. The college provides continuing education training as well as inservice training opportunities weekly to meet local need. Advanced training opportunities are also offered including: Basic Cardiac Life Support, Advanced Cardiac Life Support, Pediatric Advanced Life Support, and Vehicle Operator Training.

In addition to these programs, the college offers over 100 courses annually in the areas of CPR Certification, First Aid Certification, CPR Recertification and Communicable Disease Training to help local government and industry leaders meet OSHA requirements.

The high school equivalency exam is currently composed of five separate examinations in Writing, Social Studies, Science, Literature and Arts, and Mathematics. All questions are multiple choice, except for one part of the writing test which asks the examinees to write an essay.
